How to create a luxury bedroom space in 24 hours

You don't have to undergo a full renovation to enjoy luxury living. This spring, quickly transform your bedroom's décor by introducing the season's freshest colours, textures and trends.

9Homes caught up with Interior Decorator, Jacqui Ives, to discuss her must-share tips for creating a five-star bedroom that is as luxurious as it is liveable.

9Homes: What is the easiest way to add luxury touches to a bedroom?

JI: Soft furnishings and decorative items are a great way to enhance the look of your bedroom. Introduce a floor rug, a big chunky throw to the end of your bed, or even a feature cushion.

Other decorative items, such as artwork, candles and quirky bedside lamps, will also assist in creating a luxurious feel.

If you want to make more of a statement, bedheads are a great addition which will transform any bedroom and help create a focal point within the space. For example, add a velvet bedhead and oversized quilt cover to give your bed an opulent, plush and stylish look.

What top three bedroom items are worth investing in?

On average, we spend about one third of our lives in bed — so investing in an appropriate mattress, sheets and comfortable pillows are a must.

Additionally, it's worth investing in a sheet set that suitable for you and your skin type. Personally, I love cotton, as it's a light, natural fabric that lets your skin breath. Use this as your base, then start adding affordable décor and soft furnishings to complete your bedroom look.

When purchasing new items for your bedroom, consider the colours, textures and shapes of your current furnishings. It can be helpful to start with an overall theme, for instance coastal or art deco.

Mix-and-match is very on trend right now, so don’t be afraid of mixing patterns or blending eras. However, if you do choose to introduce different trends into your bedroom, make sure you keep the tones of wood consistent — this will help blend the old with the new.

What bedroom trends are you loving this season?

Spring is all about new life and I’m loving the use of oversized leafy indoor planters in bedrooms. This inexpensive styling item not only enhances your bedroom visually, but also helps you breathe easier while you sleep, since plants are natural air cleansers!

I'm also loving the introduction of oversized mirrors in bedroom spaces. A large leaning mirror creates the illusion of space, and will bounce fresh light around your bedroom.

How can you make a space feel luxurious without spending a lot of money?

Its all about layering! You can add a lot of colour and texture through decorative items and soft furnishings, which don't have to cost a lot. Adding a few European pillows behind your standard pillows gives your bed lavish look, without breaking the budget.

Plants are also an inexpensive and effective way to add life into your bedroom. You can make a feature with a large planter, or introduce a touch of colour with a small succulent on your bedside table.

Finally, floor rugs are a great way of warming up the bedroom space and are an easy way to add colour and texture.

Less is more. Space is a premium, especially in Sydney. People tend to overwhelm their bedrooms with oversized furniture and clutter. It's important not to overwhelm your bedroom and stick to a few key pieces — which can be most easily done with décor and soft furnishings. These items are also very interchangeable, so you can sub in and out when your taste or trends change.

Furthermore, a bedroom is a personal sanctuary and people often overlook the importance of lighting. Installing warm light is very important to help create a calm ambiance in your bedroom. This can be done simply through changing your globes in ceiling lights, bedsides lamps, floor lamps and adding candles. It also makes for a nice, very noticeable difference from the florescent beams at the office.
